Idk who needs to hear this but removing Mughal history from history textbooks completely to the point that the future generations wouldn't even KNOW who the Mughals were, is not the way to go.

You can't just distort history and remove a chunk of it. That's a very biased way of viewing something that actually happened not even 500 years ago. History is not fiction. You can't remove the existence of real people.

When you remove Mughal history, you also remove the good and bad they did. You remove the reason behind the beautiful blend of Indo-Islamic architecture, culture and art we see today, few of the things that have implied towards a sense of harmony amidst the religious chaos that reeked back in the day. But with that, you ALSO remove the massive destruction and looting of thousands of temples, the inhumane measures, laws and punishments they put up against non-Muslims, the struggles and sacrifices of the Hindus and other oppressed groups who protested against these atrocities oh-so-courageously. You remove their cries, their brave stories. You remove the valiant fights Shivaji, Maharana Pratap and their likes put up against these people. You remove the martyrs of the several genocides these guys (especially Babur) caused. You remove them all, because once there's no Mughals, who did these brave souls fight against?

Also why only Mughals? What about the Khaljis, Mamluks, Tughlaqs, Ghaznis and others? They committed way worse atrocities than the Mughals did tbh. So with that logic all of their histories should be wiped out? But that's almost like a 700-800-year-history-wipeout we're talking about (the dates might not be accurate). And that's not how it works.

Here's a better idea. Just... show their good and their bad, and just don't glorify them and their tyranny. We keep the struggles and the sour lives the suppressed groups lived under the rule of these dynasties, and maybe glorify the brave souls who fought selflessly against them. We show how they plundered any place of worship that wasn't a mosque (or Islamic in general), and treated the idols of these religions post-destruction. We can also include the non-Islamic kingdoms and kingdoms that stood still and strong despite the invasions, like the many Hindu kingdoms in the south, then the Ahom dynasty and a few other small kingdoms in the northeast, etc. We can bring lesser-known and highly underrated non-Islamic kingdoms into light too in this process, and how they dealt with these invaders. (Half of these points are already depicted in the existing textbooks, or... atleast the textbooks *I* studied back in school, but I think they get kinda overshadowed by the subtle glorification of these invaders)

These are the solutions I'd provide. If anyone has anything to add, please do, or if yall have better solutions, pls lmk. But removing a huge chunk of history just out of pure hate and revenge like this is NOT the way to go about in the field of history LMFAO. It's the same as how that one biased historian recently claimed that no Hindu temples were destroyed by the Islamic invaders.

"are we not lucky plants reproduce sexually?" is a wild sentence to start the chapter with ncert

This is legit the NCERT history textbook for Class 12.

As if taking a few lines out of the BORI CE and publishing it as a source without any indication of breakage that changes the whole meaning of the portion wasn't enough, we also have a separate box drawing attention to the fact that Drona knew what Dharma was and refused to teach the Nishada boy, completely ignoring the little matter of the Mahabharata being an ancient work of verse that has a style of narration which often includes qualifying epithets. This can only mean that the way of Dharma is to exclude.

The actual line was, "But since he was the son of a Nishada, Drona, who was learnt in the Dharma, thought about it and refused to accept him as a student of archery, out of consideration for the others."

The emphasis here is on two things, him being a Nishada, and consideration for the other students. In all probability, it was perhaps a reference to the fact that the Nishadas were allied with Jarasandha. Accepting him would be terrible for the health of the Vrishni students.

Sure, caste is a problem. But is it necessary to drag it in contexts its not applicable in?

Is it any wonder this religion is looked down upon, when we are taught to hate it?

A thing about notes and note taking in general:

Notes in my opinion is one of THE BEST ways to consolidate our learning and to broaden our understanding. However, the method of notetaking matters and so does the subject.

I think the reason why a lot of people, despite taking notes, don't get a good grade is because of their inefficient and wrong method of notetaking and the revision of rewriting our notes.

Let me explain.

The first time you learn a topic, be it from a textbook or video, we take down notes. Whenever our teacher teaches us in school or in tuition, we take down these lecture notes. These lecture notes are to simplify our learning as our teachers often explain concepts for us to get a grasp of it. That's level 1 of our note taking.

With textbooks like the NCERT, we often have to refer to other guides and websites and just resources in general to learn concepts or learn the basics of certain concepts as NCERT skips them over. By doing this thing where we dive deep into a certain concept, it helps us to connect to the topic and it is very helpful for higher studies and colleges. Study to learn and learn to study. This is level 2 where we deepen our knowledge.

Now we compare the textbook,, our lecture notes and our other conceptual understanding notes so we can derive on whatever's important from an exam point of view. This is where our mind mapping and the connectivity of topics in our brain starts. This is level 3 of note taking where we bring our first draft of consolidated notes.

Finally, we go through past paper questions, question banks, book backs and numericals and add these questions, modify our notes in certain concepts so we have the best chance of getting full marks on that concept. This is level 4.

This is HOW we should take notes. Not once or twice, we have to take notes in such a way that we understand a backcbones of the topic first. Then we must consolidate to create exam style notes to minimise time for our revision sessions.

It is really time consuming, I do agree, but half of our work is done if we listen in school and write whatever that's relevant whenever our teachers teaching rather than whatever's written on the board. I find that many teachers often explain some concepts via voice rather than noting the points down on a whiteboard. So it's better to take out ur textbook and follow along with whatever the teachers saying and relate and take our lecture notes.

This is 50-60% of our work done in school.

If school teachers aren't good, then we have videos on YouTube or tuition as our alternate.

The rest is up to us at home as once those refined notes are finished, I promise you they will get you the best grades possible. It just takes a bit of deep work + hard work+ consolidating by making connections.
